Royce and Fiona held their engagement party last weekend and i'm glad to say that i was appointed to be their cupcake baker :)

Fiona chose to have red velvet, chocolate and baby vanilla cuppies. They expected about 500 guest so we allocated to have 150 large chocolate cupcake, 150 large red velvet cupcake and 200 mini baby cakes. Instead, i think i over baked the mini cupcakes and ended up using a whole pack of 500 mini cupcake liners. I guess we had 500 mini cupcakes?

Of course i did not make all these cuppies by myself, it was with the help of Royce and Fiona's and her brothers and sisters.

Here are some freshly baked cuppies shot

Fiona's sister, Melinda made this wonderful photo album of Fi and Royce as their guest book.

Updates: I am now back in Sydney down with a horrible flu. Not to worry, it's not swine flu. :)

But this flu is making my work load pile up.

Sigh, looks like i need a secretary soon to help to catch up with all my blogging

Love Strawberries?

 me me me!! *hands waving high*

It's now the season for Strawberries! Our supermarkets are absolutely flooded with them and OH they are so yummy!!!

Remember my post on cake pops?

Yes H had some glasses lying around from a friend's wedding, so we decided not to waste resources and make use of those glasses. Pretty good huh? I like it and best of all is that the guest at the table can each get a strawberry. YUM!

I hope H likes this *fingers cross!*

I bought new cookie cutters!!! I'm excited (as you can tell) :P but i've been so busy with cleaning lately, i just don't have a chance to put them to use . I just can't wait for my next batch of sugar cookies. It will be baby theme one.

Well, as for updates from my kitchen, i made a masquerade cake for my dearest friend this week. It was just absolutely magical! (well more like gold dust and masquerade-dy) I'm pretty proud of myself but one thing that was absolutely cranked me up was the feathers!

I went to the craft shop to get some feathers and guess how much they cost? $10 DOLLARS each  feather! That is so pricy for just feathers, even my cupcakes don't cost that much. Talk about getting ripped off :( 

Getting being ripped off out of the way, i made a list of things to work on/and updates

1.  I need to start on my new website, i'm starting to feel that i need more than 24 hours in a day.

2. I'm starting to sell my cupcakes stands and they a big big hit! ;)

3. I'm meeting up with RSPCA's corporate funds manager next week to talk about RSPCA cupcakes day! 

4. I am craving to make sugar cookies with my new baby theme cutters!!!!!!!!!!

Till then for now,

Toodles~

Hello Everyone!

How's your week been?

Your question must be "What's been going on in the kitchen this week with Lilia? "

Well, basically i've been busy trying to get some ideas for H's bonbonniere. I can say that more things have been going on inside my brain than in my kitchen! *laughs*

H's wedding is not till Oct but I just thought i'll try out some of my ideas before presenting it to her. Also the fact that i can't wait to put my ideas into action.

H has requested for strawberries or cake pops as the bon-bon and her theme colors are red and white which helps match the strawberries color. We both liked the idea of having a tin pail decorated with either strawberries or cake pops and that also helps give the guest table a color boost. It's like a multifunction bon-bon. Table decoration and bon-bon as well! Definitely a $$ saving option :)

I've used several backgrounds in these pictures:-

First up- Strawberries with fondant roses

Cake pops with roses

Or would you prefer plain cake pops with the rose?

Anyone who is visiting this site , please let me know what you think and feel free to give me more ideas :)

Happy 24th Birthday Honey~!
